4 year old shoots and kills a 6 year old

Many .22's are very small-ish and can easily be carried around by a curious 4 year old. Question is why would any gun in a home with young kids be accessible by said kids? I'm not inclined to believe the story as the adults have told it to police. And that's all I'm going to say. But failure to properly store weapons and being a negligent parent is about as stupid as playing around with a gun and accidentally killing a kid and trying to blame it on another kid to avoid a potential manslaughter charge. I realize I don't know anything about the truth of the story but something doesn't sound right.

 

having a loaded gun on a bed while showing to others and having a toddler walk up and grab the trigger ... I can see that happening. Kids can quietly show up out of nowhere and the easiest thing on a gun lying on a bed for a small kid to grab is the trigger [guard]. But again, all the talk about coming gun control has generated a lot of interest and more people acquiring guns. Problem is, a lot of morons who shouldn't be parents, let alone gun owners, are getting guns in the process. But this is turning political and I apologize if it get's moved.

 

I have multiple guns in my home anywhere from .40 cal pistols and an AR 15 .556 cal and I have 2 children and I make dam sure that all my guns are locked up in my gun safes my kids do shoot guns but under very close supervision and safety I am all for guns as long as the person owning these guns know the safety involved of owning a gun weather its a .22 cal,9mm,.40 cal etc. any caliber can seriously injure or kill someone gun safety is a big deal
